Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does earthworks mean?

    • Earthworks refers to the removal, addition, or transportation of large quantities of soil or rock from one area to another. Earthworks are carried out in order to level out an area of land at a suitable height for a particular construction. Earthworks includes excavations, but it also covers the construction of new areas such as embankments.
  • Do you offer a long-term contract hiring excavators in Gladstone?

    • Yes, we offer long-term excavator hires for complex and lengthy projects in Gladstone. We offer both wet and dry hire of excavation equipment for daily, weekly, and monthly contracts, or we can tailor our contract to your exact project schedule. 
    • Whether you're looking to hire an excavator for a few days or you want to draw up a contract for several months, we can tailor your excavator hire to your project.
  • What types of earthworks equipment and machinery can be hired?

    • We supply a huge range of earthworks equipment and machinery for use in earthworks projects of all scales. We can supply your team with excavators, loaders, dozers, backhoes, graders, rollers, bobcats, water trucks, vacuum trucks, dump trucks and tip trucks. 
    • We offer both wet and dry hire of our wide range of earthworks equipment and machinery to ensure that your projects are completed on schedule no matter how complex they are.
  • What permits do I need to get for earthworks in Gladstone?

    • If you're carrying out earthworks of a particular size or scale, you do need to secure a permit from the local council before carrying out any work. Earthworks permits are required to ensure public safety, reduce the risk of flooding, and prevent damage to nearby infrastructure. 
    • If your earthworks only affect an area less than 1000m2 with a depth lower than 500mm, you may not require a permit for your earthworks depending on other factors including slope and nearby water sources. You can call us on 07 4978 9200 at any time for advice on earthworks permits and paperwork.
  • How do you calculate the earthwork estimates?

    • It's easy to accurately estimate the volume of soil that needs removing or transporting during earthworks projects by using computer software such as SITE CEM software for AutoCAD programmes. Software like this can accurately estimate the cut and fill volumes for different areas based on fully customisable site designs. 
    • Our excavation experts can help you accurately estimate the volumes of soil you'll be working with and use this to create a realistic schedule and budget for your earthworks project.
  • Do you offer consultations prior to starting earthworks projects?

    • Yes, we offer free consultations to all of our customers. If you want to discuss your earthworks project in more detail, get advice on what kind of earthworks machinery you should use and how long you might need it for, or just find out more about us and the services we offer, we're happy to meet with you for a consultation before your project begins.

  • How do i know if i need an Earthworks Contractor?

    If you're embarking on a project that involves major changes to the land, whether it's construction, landscaping or site preparation, you may need the services of an earthworks contractor. Considering the following factors can help you determine if you need an earthworks contractor for your project:

    • The Scale of the Project: Large projects such as building construction, substantial landscaping or land levelling typically require the skills and equipment that only an earthworks contractor can provide.
    • Soil Type: If your project involves working with complex soil types that may be unstable or challenging to excavate, an earthworks contractor can ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
    • Land Slope: An earthworks contractor can provide expert advice and services to modify your land while maintaining its stability and preventing potential issues.
    • Machinery Requirement: An earthworks contractor uses specialised equipment and also brings the necessary operational expertise to handle such equipment safely and efficiently.

  • How does weather impact Earthworks?

    Weather can significantly impact earthworks projects. Wet soil is unstable, difficult to work with and can potentially cause delays.

Professional earthworks contractors understand these challenges and have strategies in place to manage weather-related complications effectively.
